BUGS
qmp3report reads only the first frame in the stream and calculates the duration supposing that (1) the entire stream is composed by valid frames and (2) all the frames have the same bit rate. this is fast, but not accurate. in case of variable bit rate (vbr) streams, the given results may be far from reality.

tests have been done only with mpeg version 1 layer iii streams, though it may (or not) work with other versions or layers.
